I was dealing with a ghost from my dream I gathered all the data and built a machine Working on a starship, take my friends out for a ride Things are gonna be different when we fall from the sky And the radiation we forgot to block ourselves from is taking over me. When we crash landed, what a strange scene My friend Ben is orange and I’m stretching My girl friends’ invisible, her brothers’ wrapped in flames A solar flare made the four of us change. And the radiation we forgot to block ourselves from is taking over me.

Laying sprawled out in a field, can’t believe the way I feel So I ask my brother John “Did you come to any harm?” Floating backwards in a field, can’t believe my skin didn’t peel So I ask my sister Sue “What the hell are we gonna do?” Cause our ship flipped over, yeah our ship flipped over and over Yeah our ship flipped over, Then our ship flipped over and over And the greatest thing that you’ll ever see the greatest thing about you and me The greatest team the world has ever seen the greatest team I do believe

Staring upwards toward the sky, I wipe my eye and let a sigh. I know we all will make mistakes, my stretch out heart begins to ache. As armor closes up my skin, I feel the sadness hovering I see the monster I’ve become, I take it out on everyone Floating backwards in a field, can’t believe the way I feel.

I feel elastic lately and all my molecules are drifting all off like aerosol and I can’t breath in ‘cause I have been exposed. And my legs feel shaky and my head wobbles as I pick myself up and dust off looks like years of work have gone up with the smoke I feel elastic lately a real role model I would take it all back for you all but since that doesn't work we’ll go back to the east coast. I’m taking the blame for my actions, I’m dodging the daggers from my friend Ben And my nerves are shot to kingdom come, we can’t go back because that race is run. I’m backed with abundant resources I’d fly just to beat the Communist “Hold tight” I warn you and admit that I’d be lost without you. ‘Cause I’m running all the risk while the others resign to lay down on the job Running down the worst while the others resign to cry I feel elastic lately and all my molecules are drifting all off like aerosol and I can’t breath in ‘cause I have been exposed. I feel elastic lately a real role model I would take it all back for you all but since that doesn't work we’ll go back to the east coast. I’m taking the blame for my actions, I’m dodging the daggers from my friend Ben I’m checking the angles that I can bend, I’m moving in ways I can’t comprehend I’m backed with abundant resources I’d fly just to beat the Communist “Hold tight” I warn you and admit that I’m right in the thick of it.

Flame On! My life as a Human Torch Flame On! My ship got knocked off course through a radioactive field and it’s changing the way I feel Flame On! My name is Johnny Storm Flame On! I watched my skin change form to a red hot plasma man, and I’m doing the best I can ‘Cause I fly through the air with the greatest of ease and I’m burning 780 degrees That’s me up there, the Human Torch in the sky And I’m going places that you’d never go and you’re petrified when I’m flying solo The arms of fate shoved me right back to the globe, I was exposed now the whole world knows Flame On! My life as a Human Torch Flame On! My ship got knocked off course through a radioactive field and it’s changing the way I feel Flame On! I’m with the Fantastic Four Flame On! My home is New York New York, I’m a red hot burning man when supervillians get out of hand ‘Cause I take to the air at the first sign of trouble and they know that it’s me ‘cause I’m not very subtle That’s me up there, the Human Torch in the sky And you can’t catch me I move too fast and I melt their armor when I fly past The arms of fate shoved me right back to the globe, I was exposed now the whole world knows

An invisible girl, ain’t that something? Taking a break from being nothing And if she goes with this life, There won’t be Friday nights You never thought you’d be a volunteer Going back and forth again, Oh bother Sometimes she’d like to be footloose free Its been a long long long time.
8.
The Invisible Girl is now a woman Taking a chance on being something And if she sees, things aren't right Bless her heart, she's gonna fight You don’t have to choose Ghost or Woman Going back and forth With no problem You could have pulled that stunt almost anywhere but my hometown ‘cause i don’t care If you're made of metal of made of bone If you got friends or you're all alone Are you trying to smother me with all your power but I still breathe We’re made of carbon we’re made of bone We’re made of flames and stone

It happened fast as lightning, now I stare at orange cold rock and I’m alone Can’t look at myself and I can’t ask why Father Father here me calling I rarely know what’s right or wrong It took me a while to get use to myself as an orange hulk but I feel fine Every night I dream of dark days corrupted things and endless crime My heart is beating as fast as it can As soon as we got there, bad times were rolling And I can’t let it be, for the life of me My heart is beating as fast as it can

Cinder Block 04:20
Dreaming beyond the movies, they can’t unglue me if they try Staring a cracked up driveway that resembles my face I recognize Now that the blood is rushing and now I’m crushing what I find How can I face the others? How can I live with this? How can I face the others? Now that I’ve come to this? Dreaming beyond the movies and they can’t move me if they try Staring a Smartship Friday whos going my way, I wont think about it anymore I’m on my way don’t worry when you're sinking again, I’ll spend half my time learning to swim This Cinder Block won’t drown me if I kick till the end and forget about all that I did
12.
Fall through the flames, I want to do it again, over and over I can’t complain, I want to do it again over and over again
